GHS Scholar Spotlight: Mitchell Matthews

Griffin High School is proud to recognize Mitchell Matthews, a first-level Intro to Software Technology student in CTAE’s Programming, Games, Apps, & Society pathway, for an impressive hands-on technology project.

Mitchell built a Bluetooth speaker from scratch and programmed it to successfully connect to real devices. When he encountered a broken wire, he also demonstrated strong problem-solving skills by debugging the device, repairing the wire, and getting the speaker working properly.

Mitchell’s accomplishment is a great example of how our scholars are applying classroom knowledge through creativity, critical thinking, and real-world problem-solving. We are proud of Mitchell for his hard work and determination as he continues developing his technology and programming skills.
